Another GPS Tweak?

For some of you who still have unstable GPS, use AngryGPS or NB AngryGPS found in the V7 to change the SUPL host server and SUPL port number and see if it helps. And here is the information to be changed:

1. Open the AngryGPS app

2. Click Settings

3. Click SUPL Settings

4. Replace Server [supl.google.com] with [supl.sonyericsson.com]

5. Replace Server Port [7276] with [7275]

6. Click the return to the previous screen

7. Click the General Settings

8. Make sure the [MSBASED] in the Operation Mode is selected

9. Change the XTRA to [OFF]

10. Reboot and Wipe Cache Partition

I found the information here --> http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1227269

If it does not work, change it back. No harm and no refund lolz

Good luck.

So, I removed Glitch V14pre again:

1. BlueTooth was broken: It would connect but NO audio was routed to my headset.

2. Volume keys reversed.

Went back to original kernel but kept scripts...

Very smooth now wit standard kernel.

Trying the modded launcher now to see if i removes all the lag ...

FCs on a few apps.

Hi all,

I could really use a nudge in the right direction.

I came from Bionix 1.3.1 to ICS. I installed the GB bootloader, then v8, and batch restored all my apps and data. I can't use messaging. Every time I click on a message I get an FC.

Any suggestions?

[Vibrant Android Development] EmoEskimo:
Sadly it looks like you might have a bad flash. Force closes on apps like messaging are definitely not a known problem so I would suggest a factory reset to clear all data and relash.
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
Did you restore system data? Try reflashing, there is a new method of doing a FULL WIPE, a new thread. I just used that as I got a bootloop trying to flash a accurate battery mod, I might have got a bad downloaded file or might not be compatible with my version, Idk.

This rom is almost perfect, too bad (that) hardware accelearion in videos seems broken. Apart from certain low res avi's I can hardly play anything else without serious frame skipping. I often use my phone (through Tv-out) to watch movies, thus sub-par HW acceleration does undercut regular usage...

It's too bad because the rom seems almost complete and due to this -small- "defect" I can't use it as a daily drivers and *because* it is so very small Neo may never get around to work it :(

Apart from that I noted FCs here and there, but they are a quite small issue, and also the camera app seems to have troubles to initialize for the first time (in every other boot), so I have to "Force close" it, and the re-open it (and it works like a charm).

Really, this rom is *actually* stabler than most "stable" releases out there; it's almost tragedy that the relatively sub-par HW acceleration keeps me from it. I wanted to make new year's with a taste of ice cream...

Any tips on how to speed up the web browser when loading web pages? Moving around the page is really smooth because of the new safari style rendering technique (with the tiles), but load times can be very long. I thought it was the browser sync that was slowing things down, but it doesn't seem to be. Let me know if I should look into the browser sync again. It could also be that because it's just simply a beta, there are still a few kinks to take care of.

Maybe this is something new for ICS, but what I outlined in read I have never seen before in Eclair, Froyo, or Gingerbread. My last entry is 'APN type' which should be internet + mms. If you tap the field you should get a drop down to choose it.

You may have to manually delete you battery stats to get rid of that problem. It even exists when using the BatteryCalibration app. If you calibrate an anything less than 4200 mV, that becomes you 'full' charge level. For me that means 4193 mV which translates to 99%, and cant get it any higher since Froyo. AFAIK, deleting battery stats in recovery still does nothing. Sorry, don't remember the path to batterystats.bin, but I'm sure someone here does.:)

long-road-trip GPS test + music + battery

I've tried reading through all the pages since v8 got added to the OP and I haven't found any reports about a scenario I'm about to try.

Precursor: T-Mobile Vibrant, KB5 modem, FroYo bootloader, ICS Passion V8, Accurate Battery Mod v2.

I've been having REMARKABLE performance with GPS around town under v8. v7's GPS was good for a while but then stopped working on me so the wipe-and-flash to v8 was almost reflexive for me.

The scenario: I'm going to take a 350miles-ish road trip tomorrow. I'm taking secondary GPS and secondary music player, but my IDEAL situation would be to use google nav + play music, while plugged into the USB charger in my car. Will this work for the 8hrs-ish road trip?

In previous incarnations on this phone and an old android 1.6 phone, I've found that running music player AND GPS drains the battery faster than my car charger recharges it so I eventually run out of power anyway. I'm worried that'll happen again. Thoughts? Experiences?

P.S. I think just to really pad the test in my favor, I'd like to use Titanium Backup to freeze most other apps during the trip. That'll reduce power consumption, right? Any other save-power tips?

I hope this post isn't too noob or inappropriate for this thread. Thank you!

I have to let you guys know this! i have three vibrant, my wife's phone my daughters phone and my phone. i had no problems rooting two of them went really easy no problems. but the last one was a royal pain in the ASS!! not sure why but i couldn't even mount internal SD with debug on. and when it did come up i couldn't copy anything, and i mean anything to it. i Odin half a dozen times to stock which took 45 min to an hour at a time. i have always heard people saying on this forum that processes are not working for them and now i know why. some of the phones are just a pain in the ass. ICS passion Rocks and is now on all three of my phones as our daily roms. it has been on my phone since version 4 and i LOVE IT KEEP IT UP!! for those of you who have problems rooting, installing and updating to custom ROMS keep going you will resolve your issues!

Launcher lag

Has anyone had the problem of other launchers such as Go and Launcher Pro lagging when browsing the app drawer or moving screens?

Apart from this I don't experience any other lag as far as I can tell, but the rom is all but useless to me because I can't use my launchers, and I don't like the stock, which does seem smoother.

And yes, I installed the GB bootloader and all that stuff. But no luck. I'm pretty sure this is a bug.

[Vibrant Android Development] thehandi:
I think you'll only notice marginal gains from freezing.

You'll probably have the most efficient gain from using a CPU clock control app such as SetCPU that has the ability to create status profiles. I have SetCPU change the governor to Conservative, and set the clocks to 400/100 when the screen turns off. In your case, just set it to profile when plugged in. Does wonders for battery life.

Yes I have had some issues with Launcher Pro.

Yes I have had some issues with Launcher Pro.

At times it would FC and the settings that were applied with the doc short cuts were reverted back to the original settings, for example I would use a music player for one of the short cuts along with a GPS NAV application in my doc.

Then after the FC, the launcher pro would revert back to the original settings. The custom icons were still present but the shortcut to those applications were reverting back to the original apps.

Along with that issue, the only problems that I have with this beta rom is the Battery drainage and the GPS. The battery drainage would be very high, I was lucky to get a 6 hours of use before there was a visual pop up to warn me that the battery is low and will need to be recharged. The GPS was 50 / 50. I guess that the GPS piggybacked on wifi for a signal and that got me where I needed to be, but then coming back, the GPS signal was not functional.

I know that this is a beta and that a lot of work went into this beautiful rom so as they are ported to other phones, this ports will find their way to the vibrants.

The rom is smooth, most indeed :D

I finally took the plunge yesterday with v8. WOW. Fast, stable, fast. Did I mention how fast this is? I am blown away. Matias Duarte has been doing a great job.

The GB bootloader is only required if you want to avoid "rainbows"? What exactly are these rainbows and does it affect the use of your phone if you stay on the Froyo bootloader?
[Vibrant Android Development] krntehknik303:
To my knowledge having a GB bootloader helps with headaches later down the road. And I believe you can't really see the recovery when trying to flash or use the recovery for whateve you need it for. You can flash over a Froyo bootloader, but like OP states its safer to run on GB bootloader.

And from what I understand, gb bootloaders are compatible all the way back to eclair roms. So, once you flash them, there really is no need to go back. But make sure you read the flashing instructions. flashing bootloaders incorrectly is a surefire way to perma brick your device.
